Introducing the new KIA EV4
The new KIA EV4 is an electric hatchback that gives you strong range, a clean cabin layout, and the sort of everyday usability that makes switching to an EV feel simple. As a brand-new model, it moves beyond older KIA electric interiors with a wider digital display layout, a separate climate screen, and comfort features that make daily driving and charging stops easier to live with.
The EV4 also brings in details that feel useful rather than decorative. A dedicated 5.3-inch climate screen means you can change cabin temperature quickly without digging through the main display. An AI-powered voice assistant gives you another easy way to control key functions. On GT-Line S models, Theater and Rest modes with front relaxation seats make waiting at a charger or taking a break on a long journey much more comfortable.
If you want to see how the EV4 feels on the road, the next step is to book a test drive.

New KIA EV4 Safety Features
- Highway Driving Assist 2 helps with speed control and lane support on faster roads, which can make long motorway runs less tiring.
- Front parking sensors help when edging into tighter spaces or moving slowly in busy car parks.
- Rear parking sensors make it easier to judge distance when reversing near walls or other vehicles.
- A reversing camera gives you a clearer view behind the car, which is useful in narrow spaces or when backing out onto a busy road.
- GT-Line S models add a 360-degree camera system, helping you place the car more accurately in smaller parking bays.
- KIA's latest driver assistance package is built to support regular driving in a way that feels helpful rather than intrusive.
New KIA EV4 Practicality and Space
- The EV4 hatchback gives you 435 litres of boot space, which is plenty for shopping, school bags, or a family weekend away.
- Fastback models increase boot space to 490 litres, which gives you extra room if luggage capacity matters more than the hatchback shape.
- A 2,820mm wheelbase helps create generous cabin room, especially for passengers in the rear.
- The hatchback body style makes loading bulkier items easier than a traditional saloon-style opening.
- The cabin layout feels open and uncluttered, which helps the EV4 feel easy to settle into on daily drives and longer trips alike.
- GT-Line S front relaxation seats are especially useful if you stop to charge often, because they give you a more comfortable place to sit and rest while parked.
New KIA EV4 Tech and Convenience
- Dual 12.3-inch screens give you a wide, clear display for driver information and infotainment without making the dash feel crowded.
- The dedicated 5.3-inch climate screen keeps temperature and ventilation controls separate from the main display, so changing the cabin temperature takes less effort in traffic.
- The AI-powered voice assistant lets you use natural voice commands for things like navigation, vehicle settings, and general help, which means you can keep your attention on the road more easily.
- Theater mode creates a more relaxed in-car setup while parked, making charging stops feel less like dead time and more like a proper break.
- Rest mode works with the front relaxation seats to help you get comfortable when you are waiting, recharging, or arriving early before the next part of your journey.
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard, so you can get directions, calls, and music on screen without plugging in each time.
- GT-Line trims add wireless phone charging, which helps keep the cabin tidier on day-to-day drives.
- GT-Line S versions include a Harman Kardon sound system, which makes a noticeable difference if you spend a lot of time listening to music or podcasts in the car.
Can I buy a new KIA EV4 on finance?
A new KIA EV4 on finance can be a practical way to get into an electric car without paying the full amount up front. It also gives you more flexibility if you want to choose a better-equipped version or a longer-range model and spread the cost over time.
The right KIA EV4 on finance agreement depends on how you want to use the car, how much you want to put down at the start, and whether ownership at the end matters most to you.
- PCP stands for Personal Contract Purchase. It can suit you if you want lower monthly payments and flexibility at the end.
- HP stands for Hire Purchase. It can work well if you want to pay towards owning the car from the start.
- PCH stands for Personal Contract Hire. It can suit you if you want to drive the EV4 for a fixed term and hand it back at the end.

Where can I buy a new KIA EV4?
You can buy a new KIA EV4 through Vertu, where visiting a KIA dealership lets you compare the different body styles, look at the trim differences in person, and talk through which version best fits your driving routine. That matters with the EV4, because range, comfort features, and body style make a real difference depending on how you use your car.
Buying through Vertu also gives you access to expert customer service, whether you want help with finance, part-exchange, or understanding the practical differences between Air and GT-Line S models. If you are moving into an EV for the first time, that extra support can make the process much easier.
When you visit, you can also browse other new KIA models or compare the EV4 with the wider new cars in stock range.
New KIA EV4 FAQs
Which new KIA EV4 trim should I choose?
Choose Air if you want the best-value route into EV4 ownership and like the option of standard or long range battery. GT-Line hatchback is the better fit if you want the sharper styling without needing every extra feature. GT-Line S hatchback suits drivers who want the most comfort and convenience in the hatchback body. If you prefer the sleeker rear shape and stronger official range, GT-Line fastback and GT-Line S fastback make more sense.
Are the tech features of the new KIA EV4 easy to use?
Yes, they are. The main screens look modern, but KIA also keeps a separate 5.3-inch climate screen for everyday controls, which makes temperature changes quicker and easier. The AI voice assistant also helps by handling spoken requests naturally, so you do not need to keep tapping through menus while driving.
Is the new KIA EV4 easy to park in tight spaces?
Yes. Front and rear parking sensors come as standard, and the reversing camera gives you a clearer view when backing into smaller spaces. If you want extra help, GT-Line S versions add a 360-degree camera system that makes tight manoeuvres easier to judge.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new KIA EV4?
KIA usually offers a seven-year, 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty in the UK, which is one of the strongest mainstream warranty packages available. For an EV, that long cover period adds useful reassurance if you plan to keep the car for several years. Final terms should always be confirmed when ordering.
What insurance group is the new KIA EV4 in?
At the time of writing, full UK insurance group details for every EV4 version are still being finalised. In general, you should expect Air to sit lower than GT-Line S versions, because higher-spec trims and larger values usually increase insurance costs. The exact figure will depend on the specific trim and body style you choose.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new KIA EV4?
A fixed plan can make more sense if your annual mileage is stable and you want simple monthly budgeting. A flexible option can work better if your driving pattern changes from year to year. Because the EV4 is fully electric, routine servicing is simpler than with a petrol or diesel model, but regular checks still matter, so it is worth looking at KIA servicing.
